monday motivation - worth keeping

This past month, I have been finding motivation in what is worth keeping. Some might call it de-cluttering and others might call it simplification. After all what surrounds you should make you happy and not bog you down.

My awareness to live with less has not only created room for more but it has opened my eyes to what is truly worth keeping. Take time today to genuinely care about what is worth keeping. Gather, arrange, renew, reuse, recycle, restore harmony in your home. Toss, give or donate the things that you no longer have need or want for.

"Surround yourself with people who make you happy. People who make you laugh, who help you when you’re in need. People who genuinely care. They are the ones worth keeping in your life. Everyone else is just passing through."

Patricia, I have a hard time letting things go, but my experiences over the last few weeks are motivating me to simplify - and also making me think about who the most important people in my life truly are. Kindred spirits, dear friends and loved ones are most precious and irreplaceable.

I loved your comment the other day on not forcing things. It was wonderful food for thought for me and I've been going back to it daily. Thank you! XO
